Different error messages are usually good. It's often a sign that
something's been fixed, and is now showing you the next error. :)

This is probably the Opera repository being a bit broken. Try an

This is slightly more peculiar, but is usually down to either a
full /var partition or another copy of aptitude, apt, synaptic, dpkg,
or similar tool running.
Most of the other things in that output weren't all that unusual,
although if you want to keep Firefox/Iceweasel, you'll probably have
to install it again, as it's being removed for some reason.
